A SoLdie3.,s Grit.

We were marching from Frederick
City, Nd, to Gettysburg, in the summer
of '63. Sergeant Jordan, of Company
G, Nineteenth Nance Volunteers,
carried a very large knapsack. Now
this knapsack had for long time, and
during many a long and weary march,
been the cause of much comment and
the target of many impertinent and
laughable jokes, remarks and friendly
observations, until Jordan had wearied
of them, and yet he carried that KNAPP
sack. Upon this particular day ne was
plodding doggealy along in the heat and
dust with his hat pulled down over his
eyes, when amounted man rode along.
side and asked in a friendly way:
Sergeant, how far are you going ts
carry that knapsack2"
Jordan, without looking up, replied
Farther than you can drive your old
horse if you swap three times"
The horseman raised Jordan's hat, rim
with his sword scabbard, and pleasantly
looking him in the face, said:
aWell, you are grit, by George"
What was the surprise of Jordan tt
sec that he was talking to Gen. Han

A Model Servant.

A spinster of sixty, sueing the estate
of her former employer for wages due
her, t~estifies that she was hired for two
dollars and a half a week. This is what
she did for the money: She got up at
five O'Clock, built Ill the fires, and car
ried coal up three flights of stairs. She
did all the cooking, cleaned all the
house, did all the washing and ironing,
bought all of her employers minor ar
ticles of clothing, like socks and collars;
bound up and sent off all the books and
pamphlets which he published-many in
number; shoveled snow from the side
walk; bought all the food; kept the
rent accounts, and collected the rent and
storage accounts of two houses and a
storage-house which her employer own
ed; never had a vacation; frequently
lent money to her employer, and did not
get it back again; and when extra help
was required, paid for it herself. All
this she did for two dollars and a half a
week, which was seldom paid.

ting the earth from a convenient distance
in space, and s~crutinizing its features as
it rolls before him, we may suppose him
to be struck with the fact that eleven
sixteenths of its surface are covered with
water, and that the land is so unequally
distributed that from n point of view
he would see a hemisphere almost exclu-
lively oceanic, while nearly the whole of
the dry land is gathered in the opposite
hemisphere. He might observe that the
great oceanic area of the Pacific and
Antarctic Oceans is dotted with islands
like a shallow pool with stones rising
above its surface-sas if its general depth
were small in comparison with its area.
He might also notice that a mass or belt

observed, gives a rudely three-ribbed as

three ribs are crowded together and
form the Europ-Asian mass or double

America have not inaptly called the

which for this reason the greater part of
the drainage of the land is poured. The
Pacific and Atlantic, though both de-
pressions or fattenings of the earth, are
different in age, character and condi-

The Pulse of n

In horses the pulse at rest beats forty
times, in an OK from fifty to ifty-five, in
sheep and pigs about seventy to eighty
beats a minute. 1t may be felt wherever
a large artery crosses a bone. 1t is gen
orally examined in a horse on the cord
which crosses over the bone of the lower
jaw in front of its curved position. or in
the bony ridge above the eye, and in
cattle over the middle of the first rib.
and in sheep by placing the hand on the
left side, where the beating of the heart
may be felt. Any material variation of
the pulse from the figures given above
may be considered a sign of disease. If
rapid, hard and full, it is an indication
of high fever or inflammation; if rapid,
small and week, low fever, loss of blood
or weakness. If slow, the probabilities
point to brain disease. and if irregular.
to heart troubles. This is one of the
principal and sure tests of the health OF
the animal.

Senator StanfOrd's Parrot.
Senator Stanford. of California, ha

Senator Stanford, of California, has u
remarkable parrot. 1t cost him several
hundred dollars, and is a wonderfully
educated bird. 1t 'speaks four languages
English, French, German and Italian.
The strange part of it is that the parrot
as soon as he hears any n speak,
knows IN what language to address the
person. For a long while 10 one knew
that the parrot spoke Italian, until one
day an Italian artist came to the house to
do some work, and the parrot heard him
talk. At once the bird began to jabber
Italian, and had quite a conve 'sation
with the man. 1t always talks Gelman
to the German servant. and French to
the maid. The parrot, when any one
comes down in the morning, says:
"Good morning; l hope you rested
well.n
He is a very particular parrot. One
day a stranger went up to him, and said
"Pretty Polly! Polly want a crack
er2''
Whereupon this bird astonished the
person by saying:
"Oh, stop that f%oolishness! Can't you
talk sense? I am tired of that rot!n
The parrot has not learned to say
"Chestnuts!" yet, but. very often, when
asked if he wants a cracker, says:
'That's old give me something new"
He loves to sing; and knows ''Peck-
a-boo", and chants it loudly at times, to
the amusement of all in hearing. The
parrot has its favorites among the in
mates of the Stanford residence, and
will talk for hours with them.

Habit in Eating aud Drinking.

There is a class Of people who progress
with a meal something after this fashion,:
A long draught of coffee, tea, milk OF
water, as the case may be, begins the
performance; this is followed by a
mouthful of something solid; only a
mouthful, however, for the stream is
turned on again down the throat. A
glass eff water disappears; then the food
is attacked, and voraciously; again the
stream. Olcc more attention is given to
the food, but always the stream ha1 the
first consideration. We silently ask and
wonder how long the man can stand it.
To say nothing of the utter disregard of
the laws of health in thus eating and
drinking simultaneously, it is an absurd
spectacle! A tired, overheated man
drinks twice as much water as he needs,
first, because he is so tired ne doesn't
know what he is doing till he sees the
bottom of the glass; and, second, be-
cause his blood is at boiling m,d To TIL
the sudden chill is delightful, andfo
would p~rolong it till his capacity to
swallow gives out. For the satae reason
lie drinks rapidly, that the succession of
chills may lower his temperature as
speedily as possible. And then he goes
out to his stable and says: "John, be
sure to give Black Prince no water just
yet. Rub him down well, John, and
cool him eff slowly" The danger from
rapid drinking is a very important one.
Granted that the liquid is all right, the
time for taking it right, and body in
proper condition to receive il, the habit
Of swallowing as fast as we can is a per,
aicious oae.-EpdngtJi list.

Fashion Notes.

Fashion Notes.
Few short draperies are seen on frocks-
Very few dresses are made of one fa.s
ric.
Short basques are going out of ia.
vor.
Four-button gloves are the latest
fancy.
Collars of dresses grow higher and
higher.
Feather bands are a favorite garniture
on new wraps.
Leather bindings are used on some
tailor-made costumes.
Dark-red shades are popular in velvet
and plush broche dresses.
Shaded feather bands trim both simple
and dressy wraps and frocks.
Many minor details in mems attire are
borrowed by women nowadays.
The high couture and French swist are
fashionable here aud on the other
side.
G rduroy and cordereine remain in
favor for jackets and parts of cos.
tunes.
Broad directoire revers are revived and
worn on both dressy and simple tailor
cut frocks.
Capes with sling sleeves complete
many walking suits of cheviot and other
wool stuffs.
1t is needless to say that coiffures, bon
net and hat crowns remain high, with
out exception.
Thin-soled white satin shoes for brides
are displayed. Dead gold silver beads
ornament the toe.
The frocks of girls of thirteen and up.
ward are. simply modified duplicates
of the dresses of their older sisters.
Silver jewelry is being manufactured
in more elaborate styles than ever and
is not infrequently set with gems.
Round caps with hoods, and hoods
without round capes, are both seen on
young and little girls winter coats.
American suitings repeat the diagonal,
hair-lined, striped, barred, checked,
boucle and woven effects Of the foreign
stufs.

neutral tints, lined with some bright
color.
Condor yellow, mermaid pink and
glycerine or liquorice purple are
the three latest colors on the palette OF
fashion.
sColored Innings are in high vogue,
striped and figured silks in bright
co.ors being largely employed for that
purpose.
Parisians are wearing tartan plaids
for the entire dress, or in combination
with PLAN colors. The plaids, however,
are small.
Wide low collars, exposing the throat,
arc to be worn, and it is predicted that
hiuh collars and full ruches are soon to
be abandoned.
Tie corsage Of wool Ifrocks, when
there are no waistcoats to the same,
are deliberately trimmed in front, but
severely pain in the back.
Hair ornaments continue fashionable.
A favorite form is a tortoise shell, gold OF

Sunday Scenes IN an Italian Vtllage

Sunday Scenes In an Italian VtGtGge.
Sunday is the gala day in every Italian
village. Then the male portion of the
community turn out in the cleanest of
b,ouses, and the females in the richest of
colored gowns and headgears. The
church bell rings its gay carlton In the
carly morn, and its tinkling echoes fash
through palms and oleanders in the ad
jacent groves, uttering a sweet harmony
luscious as some ideal balsam to the con
templatiye soul. The solitude around
looks like d fairy paradise under the
dreamy influence of such enhancing
music. Nature seems to throb respon-
sively to the call Of heavenly symphony,
and her features wear a smile of graft
tude, as if she was thanking the mystic
orchestra for the lullabies waited to her
deyoutly listening ears. Then the by
ways and the highways become filed
with gay, laughing groups and crowds
surging along to the piazza, where they
congregate in large numbers-the young
people talking love and the cd discus
sing the state of the crops-till all
voices are hushed into a solemn silence
as the last echo of music has died away
from the belfry, and the figure Of the
pastor, arrayed in soutaiae and surplice,
with a breviary in his right hand, walks
slowly through the multitude and enters
the sacristy. Then the large iron door
of the church is swung backwards and
the congregations throng both nave and
aisle. -San francisco Chronicle.
